Ruby black color. Fruity, savory aromas and flavors of pomegranate shrub, frosted blueberry-coconut tart, craisins, and hint of smoke and potting soil with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a polished, medium-long finish conveying suggestions of plum, spiced smoked nuts, and hint of wet stones and singed leaves with soft, dusty tannins and moderate oak flavor. A zippy everyday red wine with loads of flavors and not too much oak.

Serve in a Zinfandel Wine Glass

Red wines in Portugal are often made from the same varieties as those used in the production of Port, such as Touriga Nacional and Tinta Cao. The wines are deeply colored, quite ripe with black fruits, notes of chocolate and peppercorns, and balanced acidity. Prices range from value oriented to expensive, due to limited availability. Pair these reds with hearty foods such as stews, roast pork and pepper steak.
